You need to retune, on satellite a lot of BBC channels have moved (part of the changes where all BBC 1 regions went HD)

Nothing to do with Brexit and it's physically impossible to stop a satellite signal which covers the UK from covering Ireland as well.

So this time last year I signed up to the WST mailing list to get access to the priority tickets and so far nothing from them. Have they changed how you get access? If they have they didn't email about it. Bucket list ticking will probably have to wait until 2025 now.

Big frame this

martingriff

Well there is the phone warning. Lets see if it happens again

hayrabit

think someone from crowd shouted out : "Go on Slowby!" , about 10/15 mins ago - may have misheard tho !

hon Luca 🤣

Say Your Number

F*cking clowns

THROW THEM OUT

walshb

Love these exchanges

Say Your Number

That blue could be decisive.

Selby playing on with just pink and black remaining and needing 2 snookers that he had no hope of getting. Luckily he fluked the pink to spare us of more wasted time. He wants this final to end on Tuesday.

Luca can't lose the session now must be chuffed with himself.

Next few frames are huge.

Selby feelingthe effects of last night, but that is his own fault.

hayrabit

walshb

And the guys coughing as well.

Brecel really shouldn't be wasting any time of frames like that. He should just stay in his sit and move onto the next frame and keep his momentum going.

walshb

Great chance here for 6-2

Brian?

I said it multiple times. When he’s in the balls he’s as good as anyone.

it’s the slow play in the safety battles that are a killer.

Say Your Number

Ideal start for Luca, but a looooooong way to go yet, especially given who he's up against.

Saw Rod Studd say on twitter they should have a days rest before the final.

Could they not start the championships a day earlier as clearly it would affect whoever is on later the Saturday night.

Arthur Daley

Great session from Luca. We certainly have a final on our hands. The Brown to middle powered in during frame 5 was a great shot, deserved to be a frame winner.

Selby does look tired after the few days he has had. I'd expect him to come back fresher tonight, and certainly tommorow. But Luca is a third of the way there. If he can win 5-4 tonight, 11-6, that's the sort of lead he needs going into tommorow.

He's made a few off comments at this stage

Shot clock is a joke know it's not happening

Rothko

A shot clock would ruin snooker

Arthur Daley

Could be worse.

Shaun Murphy was arguing on twitter for snooker, with no snookers allowed the other day.

They need to go away on holidays now.

Quantum Erasure

They're up for it tonight! we're in for a fight...

stand by

Augme

Selby needed that to sent a message to Brecel. Should be a fascinating evening session.

Selbys only getting into a WC final at 6-2

hayrabit

Luca class at going into bunch off blue

action he gets on white something else , and normally it finishes up nowhere near a cushion neither

not the best of splits there - but great cueball ☺️

hon BB !

and a strange miss on red there - it starts to go low heading towards middle bag :(

hayrabit

nice red from "Slowbs" :pac:

Strumms

That’s incredibly poor from the table….must have rolled off about an inch and a half, costing Brecel the pot… going in the left side of the pocket initially then missed the pocket to the right…like something you’d see from hotel bar table that has had dozens of drinks spilled on it.

Marty Bird

Luca is class.
